Flash Media Server Configuration

Hi guys.
We are with Flash Media Server, and Flash Media Live Encoder. We installed it on a computer in our network, and we ran Flash Media Live Encoder on that same computer. When we tried live streaming, it worked without a problem. The FMS URL is, rtmp://localhost/live.
However, when my coworker tried to stream to the computer, Flash Media Live Encoder could not connect. The FMS URL became rtmp://192.168.1.145/live.
I'm can't find stuff in the documentation regarding this topic. Has anybody seen articles about it?

Hi Jon,
     Do you have firewalls enabled on 192.168.1.145? If firewall is enabled disable the firewall and try to connect using Flash Media Live Encoder.

  • Help configuring Flash Media Server

    Hi All
    Can anybody help in configuring FMS2 on a local machine so
    that I can test some sample applications.
    My main aim is to abe able to stream live video and audio
    using FMS 2.0 .
    I am completely new to flash and FMS so any help will be
    highly appreciated.
    Regards
    -Raj

    if use the default setting
    you may create a folder under the
    { $ media server root }/applications/....
    for example:
    the folder named "test",
    maybe like this:
    "C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server
    2\applications\test\"
    then
    in the FLA:
    you may connect like this
    myConn = new NetConnection();
    myConn.connect("rtmp:/test");
    or
    myConn = new NetConnection();
    myConn.connect("rtmp://localhost/test");

  • Beginners guide to integrating Flash Media Server 2?

    I'm a newbit to Flasha dn flash media server and need some
    help with integrating the two products. We've just purchased Flash
    Media Server 2 to stream user created videos to a website. Idealy
    we would like to use the FlvPlayBack component placed on the stage
    to display the FLV file from the media server, but cannont get the
    component to access the FLV file.
    Media Server Configuration:
    On the Media Server we created an application (testapp) with
    an default instance (_definst_). The directory path for the
    Appliation looks like this W:\MediaApps\testapp\streams\_definst_\
    The name of the server is MediaServer
    The application and instance are appearing in the Media
    Server Admin manager.
    I've placed an FLV file (Movie.flv) In the _devinst_
    directory.
    Flash FLA file
    Placed FLVPlayback component on the stage
    Set contentpath= rtmp:\\MediaServer\testapp\_definst_\Movie
    Set islive=true
    When I test publish the file, the video does not display?
    Does anyone have any guidance on what I need to do? There
    seems to be a lack of documentation on integrating the media
    server. I looked a sample app called "SimplePB" that works, but
    does not use the FLVPlayback component.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    John Wallwork

    John,
    For an FLV to stream from FMS, it must be placed in the
    streams/_definst_ directory...
    applications/myApplication/streams/_definst_/myFlv.flv
    Then you would type in the rtmp connection information in the
    contentPath of the FLVPlayback component like this
    rtmp://myRTMPConnectionInfo/myApplication/myFlv
    without the flv extension.
    The documentation comes from the FMS components when you
    install them.
    Here it is...
    To set up your FCS for streaming FLV files:
    Create a folder in your FCS application folder, and give it a
    name such as my_application.
    Copy the main.asc file into the my_application folder.
    Create a folder named streams in the my_application folder.
    Create a folder named _definst_ inside the streams folder.
    Place your FLV files in the _definst_ folder.
    To access your FLV files on the Flash Communication Server,
    use a URL such as rtmp://my_servername/my_application/stream.flv.
    For more information on administering the Flash Communication
    Server, including how to set up a live stream, see the FCS
    documentation at
    www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashcom/. When playing
    a live stream with FCS, you need to set the FLVPlayback property
    isLive to true. For more information, see FLVPlayback.isLive.

  • Flash Media Server Update Process

    Hi all,
    I currently have Flash Media Server 3.5.0 installed and it has been running since 2009.  It has been running for so long without issues I kind of forgot about it.  Now i see there is an update to 3.5.7.  I downloaded it but when I ran the installer it warned me that all my configuration settings may be lost.  I tried to find some info on the best procedures to follow to perform the update but was unable to find much.  I really do not want to lose my settings.  I looked in the FMS admin console but i did not see any option to backup the current settings. 
    What is the best way to proceed with this update without losing your settings or negatively impacting the media server?

    Like Graeme Bull said in another related post : "You can keep up on that on the product manager's blog though http://blogs.adobe.com/ktowes/"

  • How to use flash media server with cisco show n share live event module?

    hello all
    Is it  possible to use flash media server in show n share (non dme)live event ?  i 've configured flash media server, can receive  multicast streams, bu i have no idea what to write in video url fild in the live event basic setup.

    Hi Temur,
    You should be able to stream from a Flash Media Server.
    The URL should look like this:
    rtmp://xxx.yyy.com//flv:
    You can do some tests from a PC to get the exact URL that would suit your environment.

  • Flash Media Server for iPhone

    Hi,
    I am developing an app for iPhone/iPad. The client wants to show some realtime data in the app. Something like a chat application, where even if users don't do anything (flash uses no event), they can see what other users are doing in realtime.
    I went through adobe site to see Flash media Server for mobile device. But I am confused on which version of the server should suit the type of app I am developing.
    Thanks,
    Salim

    I'm more or less in the same boat. I've got the admin console
    up. I am able to run the vodtest application locally pointing the
    video file to rtmp://localhost/vod/sample.flv or using the server
    name instead of localhost as in rtmp://mclmedia/vod/sample.flv
    I can also load the html and swf file to my xp machine that
    has access to the server via our internal network. (DNS isn't
    configured yet) But the connectionFailed message appears when I try
    to call the videos using rtmp://mclmedia/vod/sample.flv

  • Encoding to H.264 FLV: Flash Media Server Streaming

    Hi all,
    I've been hoping to find the magic Compressor settings which would allow me to compress a stream-able FLV on our Flash Media Server.
    I realize I can use the default QuickTime Export component to create an FLV, however this does not support distributive rendering/job segmenting. Currently I'm trying the 'QuickTime Movie' file format (last on the format list) without any luck.
    As QuickTime can produce a streamable FLV with the export component I'm figuring there HAS to be a way to manually configure Conpressor to do the same: Has anyone worked this out?
    Thanks for any assistance
    - Billy

    Related to my post above is it be possible to access and use the TrueMotion VP6 (Perian) format settings in Compressor? This format is also accessible through the QuickTime Export component option, and doing so would would both make the flash streams more compatible (w/ old players) and allow job segmenting.
    Thanks again for any thoughts ...

  • Slow connection to flash media server 2 (with HTTP Tunneling)

    Hello,
    I use a FMS2 for a big project which include Instant
    Messenger and
    streaming video.
    On my development platform. I have no problem. But in the
    final
    configuration, the connection to Flash Media Server takes a
    lot of
    time (about 2 or 3 minutes) and i can't find why.
    FMS2 was installed on Windows 2003 Server behind a proxy and
    a
    firewall which only let the hostport 80 oppened.
    The server does not run a web server (or anyother
    application) which
    use this hostport.
    The connection are established by HTTP Tunneling.
    Does someone already have the same problem?
    Thanks for your answers and sorry for my poor english level.
    Guillaume

    I forgot to mention:
    Flash Media server is running fine. I can log into the Admin
    application no probs.
    I created a folder called "test". Inside that folder I
    created another one called streams and inside that folder I created
    a folder called _definst_.
    I placed an flv file called: test.flv in to the _definst_
    folder.
    In Dreamweaver CS3 I inserted a Flash Video File:
    Chose Streaming as the option and for the RTMP path I put:
    rtmp://ipaddressofserver/test/_definst_/test.flv
    Called the stream....test.
    When i run the page it loads, but the page is blank.
    In the Flash Media Server, in the "View Applicationd" tab
    I get the record of test and underneath it in the same link
    it says test.flv with 1 client
    The Streams tab shows a random name and Netstream.
    This tells me its recognising the connection and link, but
    the movie is not on the page
    any help would be appreciated
    cheers

  • Need help with Flash media server

    I am using XAMPP. Now i want to intall Flash media server. How can i configure my apache server to work with flash media server? I dont want to install the apache server coming along with flash media

    Hi,
    What excactly is the usecase you are trying here? Are using your external Apache to proxy your http traffic from FMS to it or do you want to use http streaming feature of FMS?
    If you want to proxy it then use the following document : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_AdminGuide/WSE2A5A7B9-E118-496f-92F9-E295 038DB7DB.html

  • Streaming from Digital Rapids to Flash Media Server

    Hello,
    I am using a Digital Rapids StreamZ encoder (version 3.8.0) to stream towards YouTube, Dailymotion, Akamai. I wish to install a Flash server on the same VLAN as my Digital Rapids in order to check the encoding in case there is an issue on YT/DM's side. I therefore downloaded Adobe Flash Media Server and now wish to send my stream towards the AMS. Which Server URL and Stream Name should I use to configure my Digital Rapids? How should I configure the AMS to receive the stream from the DR?
    Many thanks in advance for your help and advice,
    mdicamp

    The Digital Rapids doesn't seem to recognize my destination Server URL. I guess it is because of a port issue.
    Checking the ports situation on my AMS Server (cmd -> netstat -an), I realise port 1935 (which receives RTMP) is only listening locally (127.0.0.1:1935) instead of to the exterior (I would like to have 0.0.0.0:1935). The application does not seem to have forced the port to open (I don't have any firewall).
    I hope this helps move anyone forward in helping me out. Thanks in advance !

  • Windows Flash Media Server ERROR: [info] mod_jithttp - FMS installation path: "C:\\Program Files\\Ad

    Hello all,
        I am running Flash Media Server 4.5.1 for Windows. I am using Windows 2008 R2 Server. Whenever I start my Flash Media Server, I get the following error in my Windows Event Log in the Application section.
    The Apache service named  reported the following error:
    >>> [Tue Sep 04 13:43:40 2012] [info] mod_jithttp - FMS installation path: "C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Flash Media Server 4.5\\"  .

    I am not sure what the error is, I did see using a single quote if you are using spaces in Windows for Apache2.2 configuration and that setting did not work. I would like to use HDS Live eventually. If anyone has experience in troubleshooting this, I'd love to hear your input. Thank you.

    Hello Shiven,
         FMS Apache Service is installed from the Adobe Flash Media Server installation program. When I start FMS from the "Start Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5" icon, it starts both the "Flash Media Server (FMS)" and "FMSHttpd" service. When I stop the FMSHttpd service I am not longer able to access my FMS server from http://myfmsserverip. Please advise.
